 * Alternative biography for Panthera*

Name: Panthera Longclaws

Species: Wildcat

Gender: Male

Origin: Northlands

Appearance: Leaving the life of luxury has caused Panthera's appearance to become much more disheveled. While he was once muscular and healthy, Panthera has lost a considerable amount of weight and is now much more lean. His dusky brown fur has also grown thicker and more ragged and he has a feverish look in his amber colored eyes. Without a wardrobe of fine garments, Panthera now wears a tattered, dirty old brown cloak.

Personality: After being forced to flee from his castle and leave everything behind, Panthera Longclaws has become a changed creature. While he was once an arrogant and oppressive creature, his life as a loner on the run has led to him to become much more lowly as he scrapes to survive in whatever way he can. However, in spite of his circumstances, he still maintains his great sense of pride. His life having gone from one of luxury to one of meager survival has left Panthera embittered and angry. Although once calm and collected, without the security he once had, Panthera has become more fearful and paranoid of being discovered by the creatures he once ruled over. Now with nothing left, Panthera inwardly seeks to encounter Bluestripe face-to-face in one final duel in order to vanquish what he deems to be source of his misery.

Weapons: Without the impressive array of weapons that he once had at his disposal, Panthera now arms himself with a long, curved dagger, which he has become quite skillful with.

History: Born in the Northlands, Panthera was the son to a wildcat warlord by the name of Vestris, who fought against a tribe of Highlander hares, but was eventually defeated and slain. Panthera, who was still fairly young when his father was killed, fled southward with the remnants of his father's army. Upon discovering a partially ruined castle in Mossflower, Panthera claimed it as his own and made it into his new home. However, the occupation of vermin in the area was something that upset the local residential woodlanders, who viewed Panthera as a potential threat to their peaceful existence. This created a drift between the woodlanders and the vermin, who eventually began fighting one another over territory disputes. Eventually, the rebellion against Panthera came to a stop as the wildcat ruler did as he pleased for seasons to come. However, several seasons later, another insurrection against him arose and the odds turned against him, forcing him to flee from his castle after defeat from the woodlanders was imminent. Now all alone, Panthera does whatever he can to survive while trying to remain out of sight from the creatures he once ruled over.
